If you want Debian to be popular with more people, work at making it
better for more people.

However, be careful not to make it worse for the previously loyal users.
If you add fancy but fragile knobs and eye-candy, the fragility will
scare off anyone who wants to use Debian for a serious use rather than a
consumer kiddy's desktop.

Correct. If I wanted Ubuntu, I'd be using Ubuntu. I want something close
to a traditional Linux distribution, and that's Debian.
